The moral of the story really is that the Government gives you PR in good faith that you will sink roots and call Singapore home whereas those from the Subcontinent only take PR as a stepping stone to somewhere else in the vast majority of cases, hence the stereotype.

PRs used to be given away so easily in the past without much of cost attached to it, which made vast majority of people to abuse it. Indians probably were the biggest recipients of PR during the boom years which is why we also look like the biggest abusers. If there was a cost to PR like in Australia or Canada there would be less of an abuse.

I agree. The way PR is given here with no cost and no assurance is the reason why there are PR abusers.

Indians are mostly in IT which has a world wide demand so its easy for them to move on. And if people can move on, whats to stop them.

I guess as long as majority of people dont abuse it, the system is ok. So no point is complaining about a few people who give up and move on.

You set a list of your specific Favs, or Fav genres, your ability to travel (distance), and it then alerts you whenever those bands are planning to tour within your sphere of mobility, interest and budget. For example there are several bands I'd happily travel pretty much anywhere in Asia to get to see, and a smaller list I'd travel further, even much further for.

And you wanted to illustrate it with some specific case of homicide in Australia? Why not from India?I am really trying to understand your motivations for postings like the one earlier above, because you typically illustrate something with Indians being victims in the Western countries.

Besides, you are wrong, people won't think Australia is unsafe because of such crimes. No any reasonable person at least. This sort of things while surely disturbing happens roughly everywhere committed by people of different races and with victims of different races. It's Singapore, thanks to many factors including draconian laws, that is extra safe. This does not make the other countries really unsafe.
